Antiox, Face & Body Lotion and Soap - La Espiral Verde

We all aim to use the right beauty products to keep our skin soft and moisturised but do we know what ingredients are in the products we are using? Here at The Amazing Blog we strive to promote brands and products that are actually good for our skin and will benefit from using their products. So today, we want to introduce a brand we've just discovered called La Espiral Verde.

This company is a natural and organic manufacturer that specialises in body and face lotions, hair and body washes and soap bars. Many of their products are two-in-one cosmetics and their hero ingredient, Atlantic Seaweed, is a powerful natural addition featuring in most of the products. Also this unisex brand is suitable for all skin types and can be used by vegans.

We were lucky enough to be sent a range of products to review. Firstly Antiox, a face moisturiser that will regenerate and repair your facial skin; we tried both for normal & dry skin and for combination skin. It is advised to apply the product to your face with a circular massage technique until the product is absorbed. One of the two-in-one products we were fortunate to try was the lemon scented body and face lotion, that comes in a rose scent also. It’s perfect for people who seek a moisturiser that is suitable for face and body at the same time. The product is a non-greasy lotion that easily spreads over the skin keeping it soft and nourished. We also loved their soap which has a combination of seaweed and olive oil ideal for any skin type including delicate and sensitive. You can use it to wash your body, face and, surprisingly enough, your hair too.

The body and face cream is available to buy here for £17.50, you can also get the Antiox for £16.75 here and the seaweed soap is available to purchase in a pack of three for £11.65 here.

Spa Detox Aromatic Massage Oil – Botanicals

When trying the product for ourselves, the scent reminded us of luxurious spa treatments, with the fragrance of certified organic oils such as lavender, peppermint, sweet fennel and rosemary. The detoxifying essential oils work together to increase circulation and eliminate toxins, whilst reducing fluid retention.

To apply, massage the oil into clean skin, focusing your attention particularly on areas that are affected by cellulite. What’s more, the product is suitable for all skin types, so everyone can afford to treat themselves to a skin detox.
